top-notch geriatric case management services

By BrightStar Care, 4/15/2016

The area’s leading provider of senior home care services has contracted with Care Connect of Hampton Roads, Inc. to provide geriatric case management services to its clients.

“BrightStar Care’s success and growth called for an expansion to our case management services,” said BrightStar owner Michael Walton. “I have seen firsthand how geriatric case management improves the outcomes for long-term care situations for the elderly, so I was very careful and deliberate on how to expand these services for our families. I chose Care Connect of Hampton Roads because they share our commitment to provide home care with compassion, excellence and reliability.”

“BrightStar Care has been providing excellent in-home care services, and I feel this is a great company doing outstanding work for its families,” said Care Connect of Hampton Roads CEO Christina Drumm-Boyd. “When Michael approached me about our companies working together, I knew it was a great fit. The needs of the senior healthcare industry are growing, which means elder care companies are popping up every month – and many of them are not taking the necessary ‘holistic approach’ with their clients. When two quality service providers like BrightStar and Care Connect can work together, it provides families with the most superior and comprehensive care they need and deserve.”

“Our families face many twists and turns as their loved one’s situation changes,” said Walton. “They’ve already trusted us with their in-home care, and now, through our partnership with Care Connect, they can also count on us for guidance and help with other long-term care needs such as legal, financial and asset issues, VA Benefits, Medicare, Medicaid, and counseling support.”

"While we would love to be able to provide care for our clients forever, we understand that their needs and type of care can change," said Walton. "We want to be there to assist our clients in making each transition that may be needed to ensure that they have the best possible outcome. Now this can certainly be accomplished by offering the great services from Care Connect of Hampton Roads.”
